I am in need of a tailor or alteration store, and wasn't sure where to look in Singapore. In the US, it's normally taken care at my dry cleaners. But local dry cleaners are scarce and the ones I found don't offer this service. I need to fix small problems, like fallen hem, button, etc. I live in the...

I am having a mold issue in my wardrobe, and I am not sure what else I can do. I am already doing the following: - Put 3 Kiwi Fresh dehumidifier thing in there. - Keep doors open so that trapped moisture to escape. - Leave the aircon on for as long as possible. Turn on the dehumidifying function whe...

It's something that eats a LOT of raw meat, from her taking it into the room all the time. But makes absolutely no noise at all. I am suspecting a snake or maybe crocodile.

I currently suspect that one of my flatmates has a pet in her room. This was not disclosed to me by my landlord when renting, so I was just wondering if disclosured is required under Singapore law? Or does it all vary on a case by case basis?

So is it possible to survive on a budget of S3000-S4000??? We are a family of 3 contemplating moving here. No expat pkg just 1 salary of S$3500. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Truthfully, it's going to be hard. Your largest expense here is going to be housing. I don't know where you come ...

revhappy, you would be surprised at the number of Yank, Ozzies & Brits and especially europeans that are here on less than optimum salary packages. Quite a few are recent grads looking to get that leg up on the corporate ladder which in the west often translates to having some international exposur...

Just moved here a few weeks ago from the US, so can let you know how I think it compares. I think most normal goods, like veggies, meat, fruits, bread, milk, etc., it's comparable to the US. This means, if it's USD1, it's about SGD1 or even maybe a little cheaper. But, it definitely depends on what ...

Just arrived in SG about 3 weeks ago from Chicago. Compared to Chicago, public transportation is about the same. But that's US public transportation, which I think is pretty bad in general. The only real thing that is good about SG public transportation is that it's relatively cheap. However, compar...

I recently relocated to SG and applied for a credit card with Citi. It's been 3 weeks, and I have not heard any news from them regarding the card. So I went online to check out the requirements again, and noted the fine line regarding the minimum income requirement. So in my case, I am unable to mee...

Since applying for my EP, my residential address has changed. I have read that you need to inform the MOM within 14 days of changing your address. I have looked on the MOM website to see how to do it, but haven't found anything. Can anyone advise me on how to do this?

2 questions: 1. Just wondering what people tend to pay on average for lunches in Singapore. It's just before coming here, people tend to tell me most cost SGD2-3/meal. But I am not really finding these prices lately. Tend to spend SGD6-7/meal. 2. What is the status on chewing gum in SG these days? B...

Have you applied already or still in the choosing phase? If it's the latter, do consider Northwestern as well.

I'm from Chicago. Didn't study there, but know of a few people who studied there. It is more well-known for its part-time MBA program, which many of my coworkers participate. If you are looking for full-time MBA programs in Chicago, also consider Northwestern. It's equally as good as UChicago and th...

What is an IPA?

Based on my discussions with my employer, I will need to obtain a medical exam before I can obtain my EP work pass. I have also hear...
